At the end of November, SKZ's testing department participated in Sika's online "2023 Door and Window Innovation Event". Interested parties can now watch SKZ's contribution video on YouTube.
On November 28, 2023, the SKZ Testing division took part in the Sika online event as part of a technical contribution. Simon Fischer, Group Leader System/Special Testing, was able to provide an insight into the testing of adhesive bonds in a discussion with Martin Schmider, Senior Project Leader PUR Hotmelts at Sika.
An essential part of the test is described in section E (adhesives for laminating PVC-U window and door profiles) of RAL-GZ 716. Here, a peel test is used to determine the adhesion of the film to the base body before and after exposure to hydrolysis/thermolysis.

"We would like to thank Sika for allowing us to support the filming with our expertise and thus contribute to the success of the event," says Simon Fischer, Group Manager System/Special Testing.
